In relation to my claim opposing a condition that my TV interview with Lisa Owen be held by AVL and not in person & also seeking damages for Corrections interfering with my mail , I am entitled to discovery of documents related to the exercise . Despite reminder the Attorney General ( representing Corrections ) has not provided any documents .

I got 122 days taken off my sentence length by requesting a sentence audit from the Prison Manager. This is something any inmate can request , as Corrections Dept is legally responsible for correct sentence calculation and release dates . In my case , a mistake had been made 13 years ago due to a change in legislation.

I was forcibly transferred to Waikeria Prison yesterday morning , but not allowed to contact anyone for 24 hours. Parliament rose for the year yesterday . Extreme actions against me only occur during Parliamentary recesses.
PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to contact or know the safety of Arthur at this time, Corrections are refusing to answer any questions.
Arthur Taylor is The Daily Blog’s Prisoner rights advocate blogging from inside prison.
Corrections is a wrongly used word for the draconian methods they now use here, so Government needs to correct the corrections operations system and put some compassion back into the system.
Given that this transfer is for the purposes of “access to the rehabilitation and reintegration opportunities” it seems quite the irony that he is being kept from contacting those people he knows outside.
